Re: [PLUG] Linux/UNIX OS choice
|
The Red Hat installer will not run on anything with less than 32 Mges of
memory. There is a project called RULE (RedHat Up2date Linux Everywhere)
that was just started to make a boot disk that will install on 386 class
machines with either 8 or 16 megs of memory. Red Hat 7.2 will run on a 386
just fine ( i wouldn't use a gui on hardware like that it would be way too
slow)
